I didn't spasm at the potty training part, but I did (and will continue to) spasm whenever I encounter a "mommy blog." So self-absorbed, smug, and stupid. I'm glad she fulfilled her dream of doing something her body (and every other woman's body) is innately designed to do, but some of us have less predictable, more…

All I read was how she tried to delay potty training and my brain had a spasm

Oh, no, what if you went to Target? She'd never find you again!

No, you're simplifying the problem

Just think about how amazing parenthood would be if you had personal assistants and world class nannies, day and night. I would have like 10 kids. You basically only have to deal with them when you want to.

And it's not like Disney movies have never had characters die, for Pete's sake. Let's see, off the top of my head: Frozen, Bambi, The Lion King...

Jesus Christ! Not knowing or remembering The Color Purple does not make one "culturally unaware." I am betting you don't know who Satan João is.

The people on this site, I swear to God, are the biggest bunch of self-congratulatory twits.

Until they're as cold as your frigid heart, you nasty bitch!

I think the photo of them is beautiful, but that wall looks like moldy cauliflower to me.

They are indeed.

That family is a bunch of shitheads.

Also it would be a good lesson to the children to return something to it's rightful owner if it was wrongfully taken from him/her/them

Um, this decade? SAY NO TO NORMCORE
